A full-time employee will accumulate sick leave at a rate of eight (8) hours for each full <br />calendar month of service. An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a <br />pay period shall not accrue sick leave for that pay period. <br /> <br /> As part of the initial hiring agreement, the City Manager may grant to a new management <br />employee up to one-half of that employee’s sick leave accumulated from the most recent <br />employer, to a maximum of 160 hours. <br /> <br /> The maximum sick leave accrual shall be 2,400 hours (300 days) <br /> <br /> Payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full-time regular employees with at least <br />fifteen (15) years continuous City service at death, retirement or resignation in good <br />standing based on salary at termination, pursuant to the following schedule. Number of sick <br />leave days accumulated, multiplied by seven and one-half percent (7½%), multiplied by the <br />number of whole years of service, multiplied by the hourly rate at termination. <br /> <br /> The above formula figure of seven and one-half percent (7½%) will be adjusted to ten <br />percent (10%) for an employee who terminates City service after completing twenty-five <br />(25) years of uninterrupted City service by way of termination, service retirement or <br />resignation in good standing with the City. <br /> <br /> An employee whose death or permanent disability is a result of an accident which is held to <br />be compensable by the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board will receive payment for <br />unused sick leave without regard to continuous City service according to the seven and one- <br />half percent (7½%) formula. An employee who completed twenty-five (25) or more years of <br />uninterrupted service shall receive payment for unused sick leave in accordance with the ten <br />percent (10%) formula as described in the above paragraph. <br /> <br /> Payouts upon termination are deducted from sick leave service time credit under CalPERS. <br /> <br />4.3 Funeral Leave: In the event of death in the immediate family of a full-time management <br />employee, the employee shall, upon request to the supervisor, be granted such time off with <br />pay as is necessary to make arrangements for the funeral and attend same, not to exceed a <br />total of five (5) working days. This provision does not apply if the death and/or funeral <br />occurs during the employee's paid vacation, or while the employee is on leave of absence, <br />layoff, sick leave, or any other leave status. <br /> <br /> The immediate family of an employee includes wife, husband, child, father, mother, sister, <br />brother, grandchildren, grandparents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, or step-parent where <br />there is a child-rearing relationship. <br /> <br /> Funeral leave applies only in instances in which the employee attends the funeral or is <br />required to make funeral arrangements, but is not applicable for other purposes such as <br />settling the estate of the deceased. It is understood, however, that leave as provided in the <br />preceding paragraph may be granted to commence prior to the death of a member of the <br />employee’s immediate family or where death appears imminent. <br /> <br />4.4 Family Medical Leave Act/California Family Rights Act (FMLA/CFRA). Employees <br />may be eligible for leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or the <br />6 <br />SLMO final 2013
